Three articles in the Thursday, October 4, 1928 edition of The Bath Independent (price three cents) about the luxury yacht Vanda. The main article is about the boat's launching, the second is about its brass fittings, and the third is about its comfort. The third article continues on page three which was not available from the source. Also attached to this item is what appears to be an advertisement from Bath Iron Works which includes a photo of Vanda in the upper right.

The Sou’wester 34 was originally called the Sout’wester 24. The 24 probably referred to its length at the waterline, not its overall length of 34’. “Sixty-two Sou’wjest 34’s were built, the largest single design auxiliary crusing boat fleet at the time.” — The Hinckley Story (p. 39). Designed and built by Henry R. Hinckley Company
